Meriden woman jailed after firing gunshot at nephew

Authorities in Jefferson County arrested Nedra Snow, 51, of Meriden, after she allegedly fired a shot at her son.

An intoxicated 51-year-old woman who is suspected of firing a single rifle shot at her adult nephew Wednesday night near Meriden was incarcerated without bond Thursday afternoon, authorities said.

The woman was identified in Jefferson County Jail records as Nedra Snow, 51. Snow was being held without bond on suspicion of attempted voluntary manslaughter.

The incident took place about 9 p.m. at the Anderson Trailer Park, 3770 Park, which is just south of Meriden off of Detlor Road.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig on Thursday afternoon said investigators were attempting to unravel what sparked the incident, which he said began when Snow’s adult nephew returned from a lake and Snow met him at the door with a rifle.

“She was pretty drunk,” Herrig said.

The altercation occurred outside and was witnessed by the nephew’s girlfriend, Herrig said. No one was struck by gunfire.

Herrig said authorities have responded to the address in the past, which was why additional assistance was requested from other law enforcement entities when the call was reported.

Snow was taken into custody at the scene. She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 10:26 p.m. Wednesday.
